What AI visibility tracking means
AI visibility tracking checks whether a business appears when people ask web-grounded AI assistants for recommendations, services, comparisons, or local options. It covers the prompts and runs you track, not every question or every assistant.
Mentsight will draft prompts from your public website, let you approve them, and run the approved set. The result will be a dated report that keeps the full answer rather than reducing it to a single score.
A useful report keeps the prompt, answer, and citation links together. Any summary number should lead you back to that evidence.
What a Mentsight report will track
- Mentioned: your business name appeared in the answer.
- Cited: one of the returned citation links points to your website.
- Position: your business's order among explicitly recommended businesses, when the answer orders them.
- Competitors: other businesses appearing in the same observed answers.
- Opportunities: next steps worth investigating, each tied to the evidence that suggested it.
- Historical runs: dated reports so you can see what changes between checks.
Why scores alone can mislead
A single visibility score can hide the question that produced it, the wording of the answer, and whether the assistant cited your site or somebody else's. A Mentsight report will keep those details together: prompt, full response, mention, owned and external citations, competitors, and interpretation.
Position is recorded only when the response explicitly orders recommended businesses. A business can be mentioned without being ranked, and that distinction matters when deciding what to investigate next.
From prompt to useful report
- Add a public website.
- Review and approve the customer-style prompts Mentsight will draft.
- Run the approved prompts against a web-grounded AI provider.
- Read the answers, citations, mentions, competitors, and evidence-backed opportunities.
